Ups, downs and sudden showers. We've designed Xperia™ advance to handle everything life dishes out. We gave it a scratch-resistant display, a battery-save mode for when you're running late and made sure it had the highest water and dust resistance of any smartphone. As a final trick, we put all this toughness in an elegant costume. At just 9.8 mm, you'd never guess that slim Xperia™ advance is a giant on durability. Finally, a smartphone that's as stylish as it is strong.

Strong enough for life's little problems

For something that's such a vital part of life, most smartphones can't handle life's little bumps. Now there's an Android smartphone you never have to worry about. Xperia advance is a dust-proof, water-resistant phone. Sure, you can take it on a hike through the rainforest. But it's made for less dramatic challenges. Like a drop into the flour while you're baking, a "surprise" dive into the fishbowl and whatever else daily life has in store.

Built to outperform

Get the best out of your entertainment on the razor sharp 3.5" Reality Display with Mobile BRAVIA® Engine. Want to watch your favorite show live? Don't like waiting for your top sites to load? The dual core 1 GHz processor means your Xperia™ advance moves as fast as you do. Browse, stream and download what you like in an instant.

Life gone documentary

The wiggle of a loose tooth. The mist on your morning jog. Freeze the scene on a 5 megapixel camera that goes from sleep to snap in just over a second. Or capture the sights and sounds of everyday, in high definition video. Get something good? Post it on your favorite social site, or show it on your TV using DLNA®.

Other Thoughts: I never actually used this phone to place a call. I couldn't get it to sync with outlook contacts and calendar and I must have this in my smartphone. Sony admitted their software didn't work properly and suggested a rather convoluted work around - which I also had problems with, so I finally gave up and retuirned the phone for a refund. Too bad, it seemed liike a nice phone, but not for me. (I bought mine directly from Sony and returning it was no problem.)
